Question: How has Arlington’s single-family housing market performed in the first half of 2021?


Welcome to #624 at The Belvedere! This spacious floor plan offers 815 square feet of renovated living space. The large living and dining area features laminate hardwood floors and leads out to a bright and airy sunroom with treetop views. The renovated kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, upgraded cabinetry and a custom backsplash.


This neighborhood shines as a model suburb with its quiet streets, but does that mean it’s on the outside looking in when it comes to all the fun? Join us, the Keri Shull Team, as we go over reasons why East Falls Church has much to write home about.

The kitchen features crisp white cabinets, stainless appliances — including a new dishwasher — and granite tops. The laundry room has a stacked washer and dryer and space for more storage. The kitchen flows into the living and dining areas and then to the sunroom with windows on three sides. It’s a perfect spot for an office or living space.


Even a thunderstorm couldn’t dampen Arlington’s resolve last Friday, with a full-capacity crowd present to hear blues singer-songwriter Chris Pierce at Lubber Run Amphitheater, reopening for the first time since its 50th Anniversary Season in 2019!

This coming weekend, Avant Bard presents a concert version of their hit “Gospel at Colonus” (Friday, July 16), and the Jogo Project brings their fusion of jazz and Go Go music (Saturday, July 17), followed by a family program by The Levine School of Music (Sunday, July 18).

There’s nothing else on the market like this upscale farmhouse! Nestled at the edge of the woods on a .82 acre lot and at the end of a cul-de-sac just minutes to Chain Bridge, it’s in a sought-after location. You’ll find soaring windows, beautiful architectural details, and panoramic views of the expansive property, forest and parkland that run throughout this renovated home.

Expanded to 5,196 square feet of interior living space, there are six bedrooms, including a jaw-dropping primary suite, five full bathrooms, and a chef’s kitchen to accommodate friends and family. The third level hosts a dramatic rec room with stunning windows, tree top views, stacked stone fireplace, built-in shelves and cabinetry.
